Best boxing documentary ever.
They don't make documentaries like this anymore!
The music, the voice narration, and the extremely rare archive fight footage.
Its a MASTERPIECE!
Ali had every tool a fighter can have. The GOAT,and I'm a Frazier fan
No, Ali had a style for the era that's it. What else's did he do Nothing it had been done before and after just the 1st on camera and the 1st black guy and everybody else followed suit. But nothing new to fighters.
@@scott4766 he didn't said that ali invented his fighting style. He just said that he had every tool a fighter can have which I disagree with since Ali didn't have 1 hit ko power and good mix up combinations since he rarely goes to body
In fact ali only threw a handful of body shots in his entire career
Edit: if I were to call fighter who had everything then it would be robinson or lightweight duran
Both of em had it all speed, power, chin, infighting, feints, etc..
He did not have a knockout punch. That is the only major thing about Muhammad Ali that was lacking.
The only man people have consistently ranked ahead of him on all time lists is Joe Louis Barrow. It is because Joe Louis Barrow had every tool in the book. Foot speed may have been a little bit lacking, but when he caught you, there was no getting away
@@paysonfox88 Ali was 57 wins 36 kos . That's a pretty good puncher
@@paysonfox88 imo Tyson would take on Lewis
Most excellent, I watched from start to finish! It was so full of rare shots that I've been trying to find on YT for a long time! I'm talking about the stare down between Liston and Ali while getting instructions! Things I didn't really know about Carnera and others that were swindled out of money! Some ended so bad it's hard to fathom even though I'm sure I read it somewhere! Great footage! I haven't followed boxing for a long time so this was time well spent watching this! Good job!
Rocky Marciano seemed like a real down to earth guy.
Funnily enough he was down to earth, in a plane apparently. Sick I know but hey there ya go....!
Actually not funny at all I do apologise.

Excellent video. I'm 63 years old. When I was a kid I used to read about all the old boxing Heroes. Very well done
Remember recording this in 1995. Excellent doc. Excellent footage.
This is really put together great.....Jack Johnson........missed him.
Oh h7 iiiknn
Mention Primo Carnera but not Jack Johnson. So bad
Would've been better had they shown Ali's defeat and loss of title only to win and regain it at the hands of Leon Spinks.
Louis gosset jr did a much better job narrating than this pink limey
I had the vhs
All outstanding fighters and champions but no one quite like Ali. Great great documentary, one of the best I've ever seen
Larry Holmes was the next great boxer that was keft out of this list. How can you possibly not have him in this group. One of the greatest power jabs by any boxer. Won 21 straight title fights with 20 of then defending all comers. He beat Spinks in the rematch, but it was Spinks who was gifted the win by split decision. Spinks then was stopped in 91 seconds by Tyson. Tyson then gave the retired Holmes a crack at the belt, and even though he was stopped in the 4th round he lasted longer than Spinks did. He also went the distance against a prime Evander Holyfield trying to become champ again at 43 year's old. He then worked his way back to a title fight at 45years old against the 30 year old Oliver McCall who just knocked out Lennox Lewis. Holmes lost by a close decision. At 48 year's old Holmes last fight for a title he lost by split decision. His record was 69-6! Not sure if the Butterbean fight was held against his great accomplishments, or someone involved in making this video doesn't like Larry Holmes. Still one of the greatest in my opinion, but what do I know?
I said the same thing. How can you leave him and Norton out
@badchoices7152 You know a lot more than most. Your words were very kind indeed for a Great World Heavyweight Champion. Holmes was cheated by the gangsters in the sport of boxing. It's a dirty game, but I don't know if Larry was the best, but he won the two Spinks fights. He wasn't allowed to retire undefeated. I believe Ali's fights with Liston and Foreman were fixed. Ali lost at least 2 fights against Ken Norton. Tyson in his prime looked unbeatable, but alcohol and drugs beat Iron Mike. None of Larry's victories were fixed. I think Larry Holmes was the Greatest. Yes, I now say Larry was the best. He had to knock most of his opposition out in order to secure his wins.
I would have thought Holmes be rated way above peek a boo Patterson?
I'm sure whoever made this documentary loved Ali and Holmes beat Ali. It's kinda like everyone loved Micheal Jordan and as fans we really never gave Kobe the crown and we damn sure not going to give Lebron the crown. Yes Larry Holmes should have been in this
@@geraldfitzpatrick9123o
Where's Larry Holmes? Great Champion.
He was just a transition between two boxers who revolutionized this sport.There were other champions in the first half of the eighties: Pinklon Thomas,Greg Page,Coetzie, Witherspoon..Tyson was the real Ali successor because he unified this category's title.
best boxing documentry ever
BOXING BEST
No Jack Johnson
@@Jbeeeeeze IT WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THE MENTION OF JACK JOHNSON!
It should have started with Jack Johnson.
jack Johnson had to wait and run after the champ for all most ten years until they gave him a title shot, He had a hard life.
How you gonna leave out jack Johnson 🤔who the director of this script..
No jack Johnson? .mistake made here.jj might be the best heavy p 4 p ever
@scatman crothersghost 25 rounds...i truly believe back than those boxers where another breed than us... it's Crazy... I train hard, don't drink and don't smoke, i am 30 yr old, but if i have a hard opponent, fighting 100%, i barely resist 5 - 6 rounds!

@@jhonfamo8412 he was also the inspiration for one of Miles Davis's greatest albums.
Excellent job, thanks -gene tunney deserves more credit, great fighter and man
Yes, he does. Not sure why he’s not widely recognized as one of the greats. Guess he didn’t fit the persona of a boxer.
The Greatest of all times. The Champ.
This is by far the Greatest video I've ever seen and i know ever will , God Bless these great CHAMPIONS.
Oh my God cant believe how lucky i am to just have found this!!!! im stoked its so good!!!
Hahah me too. I just clicked here pretending to watch just for a couple and minutes and I ended up hooked watching the entire film!
The BBC. The British Broadcasting Company. The best television in the bar none.
How on earth did you forget Jack Johnson!!!!!
One of the best sports documentaries I’ve seen 👏
They didn't have to play sad music when Louis was knocked out of the ring by Marciano, the moment was sad all by itself.
Yeah joe Louis was way passed his prime and he was old Marciano fought bums and old people

Dempsey was a beast before Hollywood got a hold of him.
Hollywood and that silly woman ruined Jack.
I’m 17 so don’t know too much about what happened back then but what do you mean but Hollywood got a hold of him
@Shabzino
After 1923 especially he got really famous in the movies and didn't fight again until 1926 definitely lost motivation. Was a true beast on the way up.
Outstanding compilation and editing! Thank you for sharing this rare documentary.
also Holmes had a little Nostradamus in him when he said Tyson would self-destruct long before Mike looked beatable

Ok 6h
Mike was beatable in the first Bruno fight you could see he had lost his timing etc etc that was Bruno's chance as Douglas was very lucky!
Foreman also said something similar, while looking for a title shot, thank you Micheal Moorer. and after Leon Spink's personal life turned into chaos, it wasn't hard to see Tyson taking his eye off the bull's eye.
The orchid man was a nickname of the soldiers who lit the artillery cannons and didnt let it extinguish thru the entire battle...
It had nothing to do with flowers...
brill, can, beat the old fighter,s they give their all. great stuff, keep it coming.
Great documentary, haven't seen this since the 90's!!
This is by far, the GREATEST BOXING DOCUMENTARY OF ALL TIME, period! The more I watch it, it never. gets old, something very special about the way it was made, its narration, music, and the incredible archive footage.
Marciano trained like a madman. He would go to the pool in Brockton YMCA, stand in neck deep water and throw uppercuts for hours. Very humble guy Rocky. Everyone loved him. There were a lot of great fighters, but only one 49-0. Rocco Marchegiano
Dam.
Many have tried emulating Rockys style but nobody ever did successfully. Remarkable champ and one of a kind
Hey! Excellent rare footage, esp. interviews with those greatest champions.
Muhammad Ali would have broke Joe Louis record for title defenses if he didn't get banned. Between 67-70 Frazier was still fresh from the Olympics & nobody was there to even challenge him.
I highly doubt that. If you give Louis his years back as well to be fair, he’s probably got 30 defenses under his belt. Ali got up to what 7 or 9 before exile? I could see him getting to maybe half Louis’ hypothetical number before Frazier beats him.
"George Foreman, Mike Tyson" The way in which the world of boxing just overlooks Larry Holmes like he didn't exist is regrettable. I get it, but it's still sad.
You’re right. He didn’t get his due.
They also ignored Ken Norton
They also skipped Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Gene Tunney. All ring greats. And mentioned Carnera....
The older people that got me in to boxing didn't like him for the same reason I don't. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with how he spoke about his victory over Ali. Even then they all knew Ali was not right and he was already taking medication for his Parkinson's syndrome before that fight. His crowning and most bragged about achievement was beating someone late in their years for boxing with brain damage. Maybe if he would have been more humble about it most people wouldn't think he is an ass.
@billy bob Holmes beat Earnie Shavers, Gerry Cooney, Tim Witherspoon. James Bonecrusher Smith, Leon Spinks. Trevor Berbick, Carl William's, Mike Weaver, Ray Mercer, Ken Norton, etc. He beat many top level boxers who were young, in and around their primes, when Larry beat them. He had a fantastic career. Witherspoon, L. Spinks, Berbick, Smith, Weaver, Norton, all held one of the heavyweight world championships at one time. Larry is the best heavyweight since Ali left boxing, IMO. Better than Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Klitschko brothers, etc.
Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali are the two best heavyweight champions in boxing history. After them, we can talk about Holmes, Foreman, Marciano, Frazier, Johnson, Dempsey, Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis , Liston, etc.
Great video but more should have been said about Akis greatness as an athlete and Joe Louis as a supreme clinical boxer.
Amazing documentary 👊🏻
I do not believe I have ever seen a better boxing doc. in my entire life........... good ol'Brits!!
It's horrible how people and the media treated Sonny Liston. I think he threw both fights because he didn't want to be champion anymore because they still treated him the same way they always had. It's a shame he wasn't given a chance to turn his life around. That's all he wanted, he wanted to be a good guy but they wouldn't let him.
19:10 "But boy there is the hand that will count the money"
Thi is the great documentaries of boxing i ever seen....
Excellent,,,well done,, couldn't sleep,, this popped, thank you.
Enjoyed the documentary, great footage and narration. Worth the watch.
Don't take it personal Sonny, everybody looked crude and slow when in the ring with Ali.
I dint look slow in the ring with Ali. Signed, Jimmy Young.
Jack Johnson was the KING of heavyweights ever . Seems as though history/racism still surfaces in the making of this film footage. NUFF SAID!
Johnson should obviously have been included. But the racism slur is BS. 90% of the fighters reviewed here are Black.
yep for sure it shoulda started with Jack Johnson!
O-SULLIVAN'
Larry Holmes was boring to watch! There it is of rather watch the great weight hope Gerry Cooney any day
Indeed a rare documentary, a waltz down memory lane,…
0:39:49 you guys heard that? remember that time no steroids no drugs just pure balls.... that was amazing .. marciano was so strong and powerful in the fifteenth as he was in the first round
he was tireless...have always thought his idea on boxing being relentless via training paid off
Tremendous piece; well done.
"Max thought he had found some thing worth fighting for"
Excellent video!!
How could that intro not include Jack Johnson?
Muhammad Ali was the best ever in the boxing world and with Good morals
This is extremely good Thank you
Jack Johnson was the first Black Heavy Weight Champion of the World period! Give him his proper respect. I'm out of here.
Who cares ? Stop dividing shit by skin color
@Dillon Mcconnell Uh, this is a video about Jack Johnson? I was emphazing the fact, at the time there was no Black Heavyweight Champion before 1908. They were all White, this was during the Jim Crow Era, remember?
@@jessieb9384 , It's only You making this into a racial thing, dude, he literally was the First Black Heavyweight World Champion, before 1908, there were only White Champions before this time. This was during the Jim Crow Era, there was no Black Heavyweight champion before this time. facts. So, why are you bringing race into this, when I'm merely stating a fact?
Lovely beginning. Be fitting a Hollywood movie. Very tasteful.
in the afterlife I'd like to see (all fighters obviously in their prime)
Dempsey vs Marciano Liston vs Tyson
Ali vs Louis
Think the same-think Ali comes as a winner to everyone outside the ring.
How, just how is it possible that in 2021, we've still got people like you among us, who still haven't worked out it's impossible for any God to exist? And if any higher power does exist, then it can only be, and must be the devil? I mean, seriously, it's now gone beyond all the previously known levels and depths of idiocy and outright stupidity. So maybe you religious could try answering this for once in your lives??
These religious still can't prove what they all claim they believe in, even exists? They've had over 2000 years, to come up with just one thing?. One single thing, that conclusively proves all they believe in, to be true?. 2000+ years man! And after many of mankind's greatest minds, have studied, researched, and looked for something, anything at all, to prove this myth? And yet all have come up with absolutely nothing, not one single thing in over 2000 years?
Yet the religious will tell you, that God sent his own son (born to a virgin mother), to earth, to teach and to prove to mankind of his father's existence, right?. So, am I missing something here? Why aren't the religious all asking, where is this proof of his father's existence? We have none? So let's just stop and think here for a minute?
Now, how can these people, who all "claim" they really do believe, do so, without ever seeing any proof? The truth is something all of us know, really, as we all have our very own inquisitive minds, so we all know that it's actually impossible for anyone of us to really believe a word of it? Because our very own human, inquisitive minds, will never stop demanding the proof to believe it.
Our very own human minds will always be nagging away at us in the background, asking for the proof to believe it. It will never stop nagging away at us, demanding the proof to believe it, It's actually known as a "human trait". And all of us know this fact!
We humans, never believe anything at all, without first having proof. You can think about anything we, as humans, do, in this world? And you'll always come to find we only ever believe what we can prove. We never believe anything at all without first having it proven. Not ever! And we all know this? What we always do, is we prove what we think, before we ever believe it, right?.
We take any “theory” and we try to prove that theory, If we can prove that theory, then that theory becomes a scientific fact. If, on the other hand, we can't prove our theory, we never just believe it? It would be complete madness to do so. The amount of catastrophic mistakes we'd have already made, by not requiring proof to believe something, would have seen us making huge, enormous, catastrophic mistakes, we'd of perished long ago.
So this should show anyone, (who actually thinks about it). That these religious people, are all actually liars? Think about it?
They're all people that don't really believe it, as explained above, it's impossible for them to really believe it. So why do we see these people so prepared to lie about this? It's obvious really?, these people are actually scared that if they're wrong?, and if a God does exist?, they think they might be sent to hell for all eternity. So we watch them, and read them, all lie through their teeth about their own so-called belief?.
They can't think much of their God?, who they say is omniscient (knows everything), if they think he won't know the truth, and know they're lying LOL. If we could put every religious person on a lie detector test today, and ask them outright, if they believe?, not one, not even the Pope himself would pass.
The religious go about things in a remedial, nonsensical way, they make no sense, none, not even a little sense. If we can't prove something, we don't ever simply just believe it, man. Especially something you want to live your own life following?. That's actually no different from following a lunatic who claims he comes from the Sun! It's no different from believing in Santa Claus! Except believing in Santa, doesn't cause war, murder, hate and loathing between mankind? No, only religion manages to do that.
Now, one thing we always read from the religious people?, Is them saying, it's not down to them to prove anything, but It's up to us to prove them wrong? Well, okay, that's not a problem? As I can actually prove that it's impossible for there to be a God? You only need to ask the right questions, and everybody can prove it to themselves. And prove it categorically, conclusively, leaving you in no doubt whatsoever. Like this?
Both Christianity and Islam's, most fundamental belief is... That God is the Sovereign Creator, upholder, and ruler of the universe. And that he is eternal (ever lasting), omnipotent (having unlimited power), omniscient (knows everything), and omnipresent (is everywhere).
Well okay sure... Only, I'll now prove, with just (three very simplistic, easy to understand, questions), that what they all claim they believe in, can't be a God? It's actually impossible for it to be a God? You only need to ask these (three very simplistic, easy to understand, questions) to yourselves, to prove this to yourselves? Questions like this?...
1. If the so-called God/Allah (controller and ruler of everything) is willing to prevent evil? But not able to prevent evil? Then it is not “omnipotent” (having unlimited power), proving it is no God. Do you understand that? Don't move on until you do understand that.
2. If the so-called God/Allah (controller and ruler of everything) is able to prevent evil? But not willing to prevent evil? Then it is “malevolent” (having or showing a wish to do evil to others), proving it is no God. Do you understand that? Don't move on until you do understand that.
3. If the so-called God/Allah (controller and ruler of everything) is able to prevent evil? And is willing to prevent evil? Then why is there evil?
Now, because there is evil in this world, proves it's actually impossible for there to be a God! Because, If there is a God, who is omnipotent (having unlimited power). And is not malevolent, (wanting to do harm to others). There would be no Evil? Do you understand this? Don't move on until you do understand that.
Then you'll also now understand, that If a (higher power) does exist? Then it actually must be, and can only be the Devil? Do you understand this? Don't move on until you do understand that. This is undeniable, categorical, 100% proof, that If a (higher power) does exist, then it actually must be, and can only be the Devil?
Think about it?, use your own minds, this proves that to be the case. You only need to ask those questions yourself to prove it to yourselves. This proves it, and proves it beyond any doubt whatsoever! If you don't think it does? Answer it!
Well, It doesn't actually matter if you think so or not, as this is proof that you can only be following, and believing in the Devil. So, whether you like it or not, or whether you think so or not?, is actually irrelevant, as this proves that's exactly what you're following. Maybe you'd also like to answer this?
Now, you'll see some religious person, try to tell me, that those (three very simplistic, easy to understand, questions), are not valid? Why? Because God is the all mighty, the all powerful, so my meaningless questions aren't worthy of a response, as my own intelligence, is not great enough to ever question any of God's motives! (the same God, I've just proven is impossible to exist, mind you) LMAO.
So, the reality is?, that all of a sudden, those (three very simplistic, easy to understand, questions), actually become questions, that the religious will tell you, you need 6 degrees and a doctorate in religious history, to be able to ask? LOL
What's up family y'all forgot to mention jack johnson name In the fight game the brother was one of the creators of the fight game. He should be the first name on the list when you're giving good fighters they're just do. He not only was a great fighter in the ring but he was also a great fighter for civil rights same as ALi was but was better.🤗😊🤔jack johnson was truly the greatest fighter of all times.
it's a shame how so many boxers have been screwed by their managers and people who were supposed to be their friends ie Don King.

+matty tripps Max Schmelling gave Joe Louis thousands of of dollars in the 1950s to help him out of his money problems.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler and 'Hit Man' Hearns (1985)...the greatest fight ever!
when Marvelous Marvin proved he had the "chin of stone" and the will of a champion. Hearns hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and amazingly he took it and when Hagler came back, he beat Hearns like a ragdoll! truly inspirational fight showing the triumph of the human spirit. Hearns gave 110% but Marvin came back with 120%
My Hero, Ali was tested with the right machinery :12 punches in 2.8 seconds...WTF??? He said once that boxing was physically taxing. He challenged folks at home to dance hard for 45 minutes. Wow That was eye opening!
Jack dempsey was vicious
Skipped right over Larry Holmes ? C'mon. He was a great champion .
At least they gave credit to the great Cus D’Amato when mentioning 😅Floyd Patterson.
it’s crazy how when the video was nearing. i didn’t hear of Ali’s death. then i realized this was published in 2011 but it looks like something that would be published now in 2023. what a good video. should’ve included sonny listons and larry holmes background as well but great video none the less.

Wow, boxers back then were faster than the laws of physics allowed....
i always thought it was a phantom punch, but in this reel you can see it. hmmm... either the film is doctored or indeed that punch was so quick it was faster than the eye. in this reel the Ali-liston fight two does show the punch that took liston out in the first round.

Great classic footage
I’m sorry they didn’t pay any attention to Larry Holmes in the film, besides showing him fighting Tyson. I don’t know where it comes from but there’s some kind of concerted effort to forget what a great champion Holmes was. Great documentary nevertheless
Agreed Holmes was a great boxer and Champion

On 6th
Too bad he destroyed the rest of what Ali had left in him. But if he didn't ali might have kept going and died in the ring cuz he was so sick.
Joseph, to inform you. Larry is just a peanut head.
The humiliation of Louis' loss to Smelling(:) must've been painful for the time. But like all great champs, he dusted off and finished the task like he new he would. Way to fucking go Joe:)
No Jack Johnson, Joe Lewis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Larry Holmes, Marvin Hagler and Floyd Mayweather. Not a good documentary.
1:28:35 Man, what an ending!

How professional they seem to be aggressively agreed with each other but it was all about Boxing not hate or anything else's then Boxing itself, not like some in today's Boxing. God Bless USA and all Boxers they all should earn it.

I did martial arts for many years. I changed over to boxing briefly. I never realized how hard it REALLY was. The training is brutal.
Its like going from dirt bike riding to bike touring . first 10 miles. i was like.. Hell no... never made fun of my friends again.. well maybe the yellow shirt.
I’ve never known what “training” for a karate match entailed of other then breaking plywood planks or hitting a heavy bag.
(Not trying to be funny, I’ll take a chuckle, I’ve just been a boxing guy)
It’s just my belief that martial arts, without the grappling, focuses on offense. Hence why an mma fight is only 25 min and you focus taking out your opponent hence why an mma guy feels confident against a boxer. Only as I’ve known from a brief boxing experience, a boxer has to focus his training on hitting of course, that’s easy part of training, include training not to get hit, condition to go 15 rounds, not the modern era 12 for a fight, but the 15 just for reassurance, and, you gotta prepare TO GET HIT WHILE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THE FIRST 3 circumstances during a fight. I will say that a boxing guy hates wrestling n wouldn’t succeed as an mma guy in my opinion.
Boxing is a martial art
@@bunnyman6321 ok. Well to train for a fight that focuses only on the boxing segment of martial arts you still have to be ready for 15, avoiding shots- footwork, blocking, n evading punches, getting hit, and dishing it out as well. Don't get me wrong they both are tough.
@@arturosoto24 Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.
Rocky Marciano seemed like a real down to earth guy.
